CHIoAGO, April "a special from Gov

mere OF the wholesale poisoning Of q family
this (F'Ountain) county The wife and one
boy are dead and two other children are
lying at the point Of death. The uGmor5 are
very conflicting as to the author Of the pJi-
5onlng. Some Gc5Uss Perry Richardson,
the husband Of the dead woman, and others
think the woman did it herself. There is
NJ doubt they were poisoned, as post NOR
TEN examination showed considerable poi
son IN the stomach Of the woman. Mr..
Richardson admits that he had some arse
NC but says he buried It some time ago.
Inc night they took sick all the family sI-
e5pt the man took some Of the pills, the
woman taking three. she WGs the first TO
Gle. One Of the children that took only
halL OF one pill viii recover. The pills were
evidently the cause af the death.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 28.-Turner and
Patterson, the negro assailants of Jessie
Bowman, were brought back from Frank
fort yesterday and inoErcerated in the jail
here. Tonight there is a large crowd on the
square where the Jail is located and it is as
serted on all sides the men viii be taken out
and lynched before morning, The
police have found u necessary to
arrest about $50 people, mostly boys. A
large number Of these latter we're parading
about town with small coils of rope hanging
over their shoulders. The condition Of Miss
Bowman, the unfortunate victim, is much
worse tonight and there Is hardly hope
for her recovery. This morning her
temperature arose alarminglV and she be-
came wildly deiiriOus. She seemed TO be
struggling again with her brutal assailAnts
and begged them not to kill her. Her wild
screams could be heard all over the neigh
bOrhOOd. To these facts are doubtless due
the demonstration and muEmurings OF in
diRnRtiOn heard On all sides. The pros

LOUISVILLE, Ky, April S0.-Evsrything l.
quiet this morning about the jail and court
house square. The meeting agreed upon by
the mob leaders last evening was not ma
terializsd, and it is generally believed that
all danger OF mob violence has passed. Tur-
ner and Patterson spent miserable nights
They refused to sat and could not sleep
with peace. They were called upon
by two colored ministers who en-
deavored to psCify them, but only
partially succeeded. During the night the
prisoners were visited by numerous citizens.
WhOs out OF curiosity, wanted to see them and
hear what they had to say. The men were IN
adjoining cells and could distinctly hear
what each other said. When Turner Was
asked If Patterson was guilty he would reply
n the Affirmative and Patterson never
failed to reply that it was not true. A dis
puts would then folloR, each
swearing by all that was true
and holy that he was right and the other
wrong. Both prayed necessarily and when
the mob was iOudest they literally rolled on
the door in fear and agony. When the
prisoners we're told that the militia and gat-
hhg gun had appeared they grew quieteE
and rested under 1esllug Of
safety. The statement published by
one Of the morning papers, indicating
that Patterson was able to prove an abb, IS
not generally believed. A strongly CONTRA
diotOry story was told by Patterson a few
days ago, when he claimed that he had been
assisting family to move at
the time Of the assault. This, up
on investigation. was found to be
totally false. Jennie Bowman continues in
the same dangerous condition. She is rest
ing q little easier this morning, under the
influence Of opiGtes, but it Is still thought
she cannot recover.
The alleged attack between twelve and
O'Clock this morning did not amount to
anything, the militia not taking part. The
crowd threw some stones at the police and
numerous arrests were made, but no one
was hurt.
